We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time

Why choose a hog roast in Crampmoor?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Golden-hour photos in Crampmoor at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

Planning help
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crampmoor: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Swithun's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Crampmoor close to London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you come to Crampmoor?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Crampmoor and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We’ll sort the details with them.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
